Morocco continues to ramp up lettuce exports to France, posting a record volume for the first quarter of 2023, according to EastFruit. In addition, after a three-year break, the supply of lettuce to the UK was resumed. As EastFruit has repeatedly written, Morocco, known for its developed agriculture and fertile soils, continues to strengthen its position in the international vegetable export market, supplying lettuce to foreign markets. So, in 2018-2019, the supply of this Moroccan vegetable abroad averaged about 900 tons per year. It should be noted that during this period, the lion's share of products was sent to the Russian market.
